There will be an election in Ten
nessee for or against Prohibition to-
morrow, and the result is awaited with
anxiety by the friends of temper

this time, but constant hammering will
hurt some of the old parties. In the
south the Democrats will feel it. In
the north the Republicans. The tenn

itself as strongly in favor of civil SER

politicians foolish enough to try to ig.
more this issue will come to disaster
sooner or later" Slowly, like all
healthy growths, this growth of purer
political sentiment goes on. How about

Montana is said 10 have more bears in
proportion to territory than any other
section of the United States. Hunters
and herders on the Tongus river, in the
B & Horn range, report seeing cinnamons
in drovos Of six to twenty. 1t has been
cold high up among the mountains late
ly, with plenty of snow. The bears,
forced by hunger, swarm down into the
foothills and on the plains in search Of
berries and roots. Not finding sufficient
of the latter they don't hesitate to feast
on veal or mutton and so the honest
ranchmcn are heavy sufferers unless they
check the monsters with cold steel in the
shape Of traps or cold lead in the form Of
bullets. The cinnamon bears are per
haps the most annoying of the species.
While the true grizzly stays in high alti
udes, almost Mt the verge Of the perpet-
ual snow line, the bold cinnamons and
black bears do not hesitate to descend
into the valleys and river bottoms, search
ing for food Of some kind. The grzz y
and sllver-tip bears are carnivcrous,
while, as a rule, the cinnamon (Which is
really the brown bear and the black
condne themselves to roots, herbs and
berries, unless forced to partake OF more
substantial food in the way OF a stray
calf or lost sheen.

We loose our beat from ihe nowery strand
And sail away on a summer sea.

Round gem Ike Stands with shining beachi
But beyond those beautiful meadows green
Are fairer ON that We never reach.
The valley i, ,ht with blooming flowers,
Aud sweet with the wildwood secrets but

Would we climb the mountain that graudly

And long for height, hat we cannot gain
All, w we yearn Tor the enchanted peaks

And ever pathway our foots cp4 seeks
Till our eyes grow dim in stcadfast gaze
Why IS it we never are satisfied!
Whence comes tbs spirit Of sad unrest,
This haunting glo.t eer by our side.
Thi' res; less longing within the breasu
Does the soul st u pine fer its native cim'
And the pirlt- haunt, that it knew ofyore
Some land where it always is summer time
Some beautiful dim remembered shore,
But it finds no rest for the wca feet
No where beneath the shining stars;
And forever the wild wings beat and boat,
Like captive ird gain-t pri on bars;
Waiting, waiting we know not why,
For something. Alas it is ever thus;
And never heneaih the wni-swept sky,
Do the things we wait for come to us.

at the Wells street depot yesterday,
but one must dig for them the same as
he would for potat cs. 1t is my opinion
that the mounds near Wallegan cover
the bones and impIem .uts Of pre-his-
toric race. Several excavations have
been made aad the finds hava in nearly
every instance amply rewarded the scen.
tifc diggcrs The principal cemetery at
Racine, "A little further up the road,
holds the ashes of numerous mound
builders. Their graves are distinctly
marked by immense mounds, from the

sprouted. Olc Of these mounds was
opened years ago, and from its bowels
were taken half-d zen skeletons in d
fair state Of preservation and basketfu
of stone cook ing utensils and weapons Of

The ScalIOn Fishing

Mr. Ernest Ingersoll gives us some
interesting facts concerning the credible
scallop and its fishery. 1t is captured
along the coast between Cape Cod and
New Jersey, but rarely beyond these
limits. Even here it is not continuous,
but occurs only at intervals and periodi-
cally. 1t is said to have life period of
but about three years, and is only good
Tor the market after the first year. The
scallops are caught by hand-dred ging
rom sma Il sailboats during the fall and
winter months. The only edible portion
Of the mollusk is the rectangular muscle
winch holds the shell together. The
total product of the season is about TO-
900 to rs, 900 gallons of these meats" /"

It is astonishing how few men there
are who know anything about horse.
There is no other animal that the average
mn IS on such close and intimate rela-
tions with, or that he treats with sucA
a gross ignorance of his peculiantiee
The tcamster, now, has probably done
fttle else than drive a horse in the inter
walls Of shovellng coal. He certainly
knows how heavy his load is, and you
would think he ought to know what the
horse can do. But when his horse gets
stalled the only way he can think of to
help the horse is to beat him. This
is one Of the things that ought to be
taught in our public schools. would
have it made regular branch Of study,

Centaurs on the plains Of Thessaly was
indeed famous in its day but that was
a long time ago, and the drivers of our
coal carts are not Apollos. - Boston
